About Flowtrol HMI Lite
We are thrilled to announce the Flowtrol HMI solution. The control module can now be enabled along the other modules according to your project's needs. We now have a "Parameter" module, allowing custom memory interface, and also a statistics & trends modules (for history data).
This lite version allows you to see all functionalities of the HMI app.
The app still includes our demo PLC for connection, so even if you don't have a PLC to connect, you can still experience control (only an internet connection is required).
For production use, only the installation of DB's on the PLC is necessary. This is done using our Desktop Configuration App found in http://flowtrol.de .
The configuration and installation of the DB is customized depending on the number of controls and requirements for the functions. For more information, please inquire directly with us at flowtrol@roth-steuerungstechnik.de.
Prerequisites:
- Siemens PLC (minimum S7)
- PLC and iPhone in the same WLAN subnetwork.
- Installation of our DB in the PLC
Features:
- Automatic scan for controllers in the network
- History of the last connections
- Demo mode
- Function texts / types can be simply customized on the DB at the PLC, the app will adapt automatically.
- Customisable background images for each function (including RTSP video streams)
-Possible to create sub-groups for each module.

We implemented a tutorial for you to quickly see the functionality of the app.
We implemented a guide that helps you to check any necessary setting in order to connect the designated devices - your mobile device and the PLC.
We have completely redesigned the main screens:
+ It has never been easier to connect to a PLC.
+ You are now able to connect to multiple PLCs and check its status at a time by creating your own groups of devices.
+ You can easily reconnect to formerly connected PLCs resp. groups.
+ You are now able to give your groups of devices a unique face by adding icons or pictures to it.
We got rid of some bugs - thanks for your feedback!
We improved our respective Windows-Tool quite a bit so that you will have much less hassle to work with —> check it out, it’s worth an update…
We uploaded a manual for our Windows-Tool to our homepage - finally. Please take a look.
